[FieldTrip] Weird trialfun_general error

[jan-mathijs schoffelen]

Hi Rodolphe,

This is a funny bug. It goes wrong in trialfun_general when the  
intersect() tries to compare a string (event(i).vale being 'boundary')  
with a list of numbers (your event values). This leads in your case to  
unwanted behavior, and I can imagine that this will cause problems  
elsewhere too.

We'll look into it and fix it.

Thanks for the notification.

Best,

Jan-Mathijs
